Hello, the latest issue of the Tech News bulletin is ready for translation at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2014/15
The bulletin will be sent to subscribers on Monday morning (UTC); all translations existing by that time will be posted on wikis in those languages.
There might be some edits tomorrow, but the content should remain fairly stable -- I will let you know as soon as a final version of the issue is published.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. I appreciate your help, feedback and involvement.
Tomasz
Hi again, this is just to let you know that I just froze this week's issue of Tech News and published its final version at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2014/15.
No changes have been made to the issue since my last e-mail, so if you already translated all messages, please do feel free to take a deserved rest :-)
The bulletin will be distributed to subscribers on Monday morning according to the publication schedule visible on top of the page on Meta.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. I appreciate your help, feedback and involvement.
Tomasz

In fact only 14: exclude German and Korean whose only translations are generic items recurring each week; and possibly Japanese as well that just adds 2 effective items translated (in planned changes, bit none in effective changes).
I wonder why German gets no translation since long; given the number of German Wikimedians.
It's less surprising for Korean even if (South) Korea has excellent level of Internet coverage since long (but also its older and popular cooperative and social platforms, explaining why Wikimedia is not so successful there). But may be most Koreans don't feel the need to translate English (because many of them have excellent education levels and can easily read English; but educated Koreans may have chosen another secondary language than only English, such as Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, Spanish or Arabic and would like to get translations from English to their primary Korean language).
Or may be there are specific difficulties for translating technical English to Korean (we are speaking about tech news here, not general news, songs and poems). It's rare to find technical documents written in Korean on the Internet (much more than in Chinese or Japanese).

I see something strange on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2014/15/nl
This line is incorrect: "2014, *15. Wort *(maandag 07 april 2014)". In English it says "2014, *week 15* (Monday 07 April 2014)". In Dutch it should be the same as in English ("week 15"). Where can this be corrected?
Cheers!

Hello Everyone,
I have a small remark concerning the latest tech news. Bawolff changed the frozen issue on Sunday to indicate that MediaWiki was not deployed due to localization issues.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech%2FNews%2F2014%2F15&dif...
Given that I'm usually late in doing my translations, I realized the change just before I leave the page. But most of the translators, mostly the guys who finalize their translations on Saturday, missed the update.
Would it be best for translators to bookmark the current issue to track such sudden changes or is there a better solution?
Kind Regards, Aya Saif El-yazal Mahfouz

I usually try to keep track of such changes, and send a notification to this list, but in this case I missed it. If you notice a significant change in a frozen issue and no one has yet mentioned it on this list, please send a short email to the list to let the other translators know :)
Otherwise, yes, adding the current issue to your watchlist (and enabling e-mail notifications) is probably the best way to make sure you're notified when the page is changed.
